Out of a hat creations - buttons

Another one! So this one is a nod to Fornasetti (think I have spelt that correctly) - I did enjoy doing this very much and I think I will take this further.

I am now painting on book text - I like it when the words show through, I think thats abit different. Plus I like just the eyes showing. Also - my friend gave me this big box of old buttons, and rummaging round in the box today to complete this I found a florin! 1942 florin - isnt that good I was quite like..oh! when that popped up.

This is for Out of the Hat Creations - Buttons. i wanted the buttons to look like an exotic headress and there were loads of really different buttons in this box - they were really lovely. The surface is a really nice pastel box - lovely quality and nice and strong.

In between the buttons I have put dimensional stuff which sparkles - you can just see it.

This is just stunning Cathryn, your imagination knows no bounds and we are so happy to have you join us at Out of A Hat Creations again this week. What a wonderful way to use some of your gorgeous buttons.

Hi Cathryn. Fabulous idea using the buttons as a head dress. Reminds me of Mata Hari or posh Mavis from Butlins- Miss Happy Swimmer 1954!lol! Only joking. Stunning work. Have a great weekend.Regards Florence xx
